Theater Fire Addendum

Addendum: The mock trial continued under the legalty of whether or not citizens of Spain had to have licenses to carry in public at the beach in order to defend their country from foreign invaders. Consensus was a case could be made that the legal citizens would not need licenses under this condition depending on Spains “constitution” or their law of the land. Every lawyer I talk to, not just my family, says that technically, legally, you do not need a permit to bear arms in America.

Theater Fire

I have two lawyers in my family. We had a nice dinner the other night and this came up. The hypothetical law question and subsequent mock trial prep was very interesting. The hypo case was based on the scenario of “what if someone or a group of people were at the beach, armed, all legal carrying, all legal citizens and shot and killed these people because they thought their country was being invaded because the people were on a special forces type boat and were not wearing any cognizance of their country (spain). Would they be guilty of murder? A few hours later and a bottle of wine determined that shooters would be innocent if Spains gun laws allowed them to conceal carry on the public beach.
